Problem: If you're experiencing issues with paragraphs not being accepted by the Advanced Translation Editor (ATE) due to HTML formatting, such as bold or underlined text, and sometimes even needing to manually adjust the translation or change the default page. Solution: We recommend ensuring that HTML tags in the original text are correctly replicated in the translated version. For instance, if your original sentence includes a break tag (
<br />
) nested within a span tag, you should maintain the same structure in the translation. Please refer to this screen record for a detailed guide on how to do this: screen record.

Problem: The client reported an issue where small edits to the US default page resulted in automatic RankMath redirections to incorrect language versions of the page. This was observed across multiple language versions such as ES, FR, and DE, redirecting to the US info pages instead of the appropriate language pages.
Solution: We asked the client to replicate the issue on a staging site with clear steps and provided an example of how to set up a correct redirection. We suggested checking the destination URL after making a small change to the product in the English language and then updating the translation in French to ensure the destination URL does not change. We also provided a screen recording to demonstrate the correct process: screen recording.

Problem: If you're experiencing issues where slider images are partly missing only in the French language on your translated pages, and you've noticed an unknown widget in the WPML Translation Management, here's what we recommend. Solution: For the missing images in the French translation: 1. Edit the page in the English language and make a small change to the content. 2. Ensure the following options are enabled in the WPML settings: - Duplicate uploaded media to translations - Duplicate featured image to translations 3. Save the changes and update the translation. 4. If the issue persists, go to WPML > Settings > Media Translation section, run the set language information and duplication steps, then send the page and all attached images to translation from Translation Management.

Problem: The client is experiencing issues with the translation of button URLs in sliders on their website. Specifically, the second button URL in the French translation page does not work correctly because it points to an incorrect product URL. Solution: We advised the client to correct the button URL by ensuring it matches the correct product URL. The issue arises from a typographical error in the URL slug ('canals' should be 'canal'). After making this correction, the client should re-translate the page and verify if the issue is resolved.

Problem: The client is experiencing issues with WPML where the links from a page to a product and the 'more information' backlink URL are not working in the WPML-translated languages (DE, NL, ES). The problem is that the translated product pages are not accessible to non-admin users. Solution: We recommend checking if the translated product pages are in Draft mode. If they are, you need to edit the product in the default language, switch to the translated language, and then publish the translation. This action should make the translated product pages accessible to all users.

Navigate to WooCommerce > WooCommerce Multilingual & Multicurrency > Settings > Troubleshooting. 2. Select the following options: - Update products count - Sync products variations 3.

Problem: The client was experiencing issues with a WP Review shortcode button on their shop pages. When changing the language to NL, DE, or ES, the button would redirect to the default US page instead of the corresponding translated page. Solution: We identified that the plugin used for the button was not compatible with WPML, which meant that the parameters could not be registered by WPML for translation. We recommended the client to refer to a solution from another ticket where a customer faced a similar issue. The solution can be found in the last few posts of the following thread:
Problem: The client was experiencing an issue with a Dutch translation of a button link URL on a slider that appears four times on a page. The link was supposed to direct to a Dutch version of a product page, but it was not working correctly. The client had tried re-translating the page and making minor edits, but the issue persisted. The problem was specific to the Dutch translation, as other language translations were functioning properly.
Solution: We asked the client for a clear explanation of the issue and to provide examples or screenshots to better understand the problem. We also advised the client to avoid including unnecessary details such as menu items in their description to prevent confusion. After the client managed to resolve the issue on their own, they informed us that the topic could be closed.
